Emil Pauli and Don Delio Stritto were tremendous It seemed like our score would become stupendous. Jan Faulkner again put on quite a show - A consistant Chief he continued to grow. On defense the hitting was something to behold... The Aces never got out of the hole. Bill Horgan and Dave Rakita were at their best. And left the Aces a heck of a mess. The Wagner Seahawks proved a worthy team. But the Springfield Chief had too much steam. The Chiefs never had a history for the field goal, Along came Bob Turley to fill the role. His thirty-two yarder was something to behold He ain't much on form but his kicks are pure gold. Jeff Gil is and Ed Winslow were tough and sound. And pounded their offense right into the ground. When the game was close and still in doubt Paul Wood's interceptions gave us a rout. Home again and the New Hampshire Wildcats were coming. Six wins in a row were not forthcoming. Two bad breaks were the story of the day It looked as if the Chiefs weren't ready to play. A kid named Paul Ingram got up off the bench And almost pulled us out of the trench. His sidekick Brian Longo did a tremendous job, But the dock ran out and we wanted to sob. Next was our final with the Jumbos at Pratt; The whole team was ready you could be damned sure of that. Bob Liljedahl and Dave Rough were quick as cats. Art Markos and Ray Garlick controlled the Flats. Jan Gebo and Tony DiCocco controlled the ground And ran at the Jumbos until they frowned. John Greska and John Curtis they tried to stop. Our defense and six interceptions made Tufts a flop. Our defensive objective was to score a shutout
